Folders missing in project pane in Webstorm

问题

I've built a project in WebStorm and then submitted the project to GitHub.

When I rebooted the computer and relaunched WebStorm (and the project), all I can see in the project pane is the root files, and none of the folders (yes the folders are there)

See the image below for reference.

Does anyone know how I can get those folders to re-appear in the project pane of Webstorm?

回答1:

It can be caused by the corrupted .idea/modules.xml project file. You can either try to fix it manually (restore from Local History, version control or backup) or create the new project from scratch.

Check this issue for the hints/workarounds.

It happens sometimes in WebStorm 9. The easiest way to fix it for me:

close WebStorm;
in project's folder remove .idea/ (hidden directory);
open your project, enjoy:)

Find the .idea/modules.xml in your project root make sure that these lines are correct :

<modules>
  <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/NameOfYourProject.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/NameOfYourProject.iml" />
</modules>

Replace NameOfYourProject.iml with the name of your project.

Then, make sure that the file .idea/NameOfYourProject.iml exists, if not , create it and put this in it :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module type="WEB_MODULE" version="4">
  <component name="NewModuleRootManager">
    <content url="file://$MODULE_DIR$" />
    <orderEntry type="inheritedJdk" />
    <orderEntry type="sourceFolder" forTests="false" />
    <orderEntry type="module-library">
      <library name="PHP">
        <CLASSES>
          <root url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/../../php/PEAR" />
        </CLASSES>
        <SOURCES />
      </library>
    </orderEntry>
  </component>
</module>

You do not need to delete whole .idea folder and reconfigure your whole project, just

delete the .idea/modules.xml
restart the IDE and your folders are there again!

回答5:

I ran into the same issue and resolved it by invalidating the cache. The option is under File > Invalidate Caches/Restart. On the prompt click Invalidate and restart.

Note: The project in concern needs to be open before you do this.

回答6:

I see this from time to time. I use Git, and I have my .gitignore file set up as recommended, specifically:

.idea/workspace.xml
.idea/tasks.xml
.idea/*.iml

I sometimes see this after cloning the repository, and when trying to figure out why, I came across this post and read the accepted answer.

I deleted the modules.xml file and reopened WebStorm (2016.2.4), and it was resolved. I looked at the new modules.xml and found that its contents were exactly the same as before, but my <projectName>.iml file was bigger.

So it seems to be a corruption in the .iml file, not modules.xml. I assume that deleting modules.xml triggers a rebuild of the .iml file. Not sure if this helps anyone with anything, but thought I would offer the extra insight.

Try deleting workspace.xml and watchertask.xml then just restart the IDE. You must see your full source code in all folders there.

回答9:

Finally I found the culprit, it was Team Foundation Server - Version Control Integration plugin from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7961-team-foundation-server--version-control-integration/

I looked at the system/log/idea.log file and found that this plugin was producing Null exception whenever I open a new folder as a new project and breaks the content root auto detection by the IDE, and after I uninstalled this plugin, all folders show up as it should.

You might have this issue because of a culprit plugin, and disabling those which you have just installed recently just before this issue occurs, will resolve the issue. Check the log file and search for ERROR.

If it is found to be an important plugin you are actively using which you are not willing to disable, then a temporary fix is to open Settings->Directories and click Add content root button to add the root folder of your project, click Ok now folders will show up and indexing will begin, and of course you have to do this everytime you open a new folder as new project.
